Nearly 12 months have gone by since my last update.

In the intervening period I have sat down and considered my options.
To this end I have decided to reduce the arena that I have been operating in to something more sensible.
Namely:
Private Dwelling Inspections (Insurance etc). Roofs, gutterings, pointing etc
Planning Applications support, Aerial Video and Imagery. now being requested more and more by Planning Authorities.
Solar Panel Inspections for Damage and correct installation.

Voluntary work with "Drones Search and Rescue for Lost Dogs" but which can and does often include missing persons, horses etc.(Done SAR for Lost Dogs)

A couple of gremlins have crept out of the woodwork, which will slow my availability a little bit.

All systems go again so looking forward to being of service to anyone who needs drone facilities.]]><![CDATA[April 20th, 2023]]>Thu, 20 Apr 2023 11:27:52 GMThttps://www.droneservices-uk.com/blog/april-20th-2023Over the past few months I have had to be careful in accepting assignments. My wife had a stroke and I have been her 24/7 carer. This has meant great difficulty in accepting work as I could never be sure that I would not let the client down due to circumstances outside of my control.
Things are starting to look a bit better so I am looking forward to getting back in the pilot seat once again.
Summer seems to be on its way, with the odd weather glitch (Only in the UK!), so hopefully the weather will allow more flying.

How many of you know the actual status of your roofs?, tiles and slates and if you have them, solar panels.
Annual or bi-annual inspections of Solar Panels would keep you up to date with the status and keep you ahead of the game. Pro-active is always better than re-active and tends to be cheaper as well.
We do have offer prices for domestic dwellings roofs and Solar Panels. And special repeat prices for Estate Agent Inspections.]]><![CDATA[Mail issues]]>Sat, 12 Feb 2022 11:37:43 GMThttps://www.droneservices-uk.com/blog/mail-issuesUnfortunately over the past couple of weeks or so, unbeknown to me, the connectivity to the email address has been unreliable so messages have not been received.
I do apologise for this if you have tried to contact me on this medium.
I have put in place my alternative which is reliable and if you have tried to email please send to the new links.

No really major issues, no Rescues, just one or two drone and photographic jobs.
I suppose it is to be expected being just after Christmas and New Year. Plus of course the Omicron restrictions.
Short and sweet this time so stay safe and I will return.

Which is good to see on the one hand.

The storms of the other week didn't produce as much damage work as expected in this area with a resultant reduction in demand for our services in drone insurance work. It is probably a little early in the winter weather yet.

No major events to report in our area so will sign off for now.
